SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: Nikon D5000 DSLR
I love a good camera and that’s exactly what the Nikon D5000 is. I can’t say I was too impressed the first time I picked it up. You don’t feel like you’re getting an aweful lot of bang for your quite considerable £639.93 buck whch was more like £700 plus when it was launched a few weeks back.
This one is a real grower, though, and, if it weren’t for the disappointing kit lens, I’d say get your wallet out now. There is always the body only option though.
If you want to see that video I shot with it, press play on the frame below.
I felt like there were quite a few gimmicks to suck the family in with the D5000 and it made me resist its charms at first. But, one day, I’m going to have to buy a camera that I want to use, that my kids – should I trust them enough – can operate too. This DSLR does offer that.
I would never bother with those scene modes but the tilting screen did come in handy once or twice when sitting at the back of a press conference and I’m gutted at having to go back to the old Nikon less graphic interface.
If you’ve got a lens or two, or don’t mind picking some up, then I’d say you could do a lot worse than this piece of photographic hardware. Just the body, remember, not the kit!
The D3X – Nikon unveils a 24.5 megapixel beast
Here’s the whopping D3X, straight outta Nikon’s ‘Pro’ magazine. The spec sheet surfaced over the weekend, which includes a 24.5 megapixel sensor, and full-resolution shooting at five frames per second – necessitating a newly updated ‘EXPEED’ image processing system to keep pace.
Shiny Video Preview: Nikon Coolpix S60
This is the Nikon Coolpix S60, which Zara is testing out in the video above. It’s got a fantastic, huge, 3.5″ touchscreen. Is it wonderful, or is it annoying to use? There’s only one way to find out – watch the video. Would you want to use a touchscreen on a camera? Are you as big a fan of the word “smudgefest” as I am? Let us know in the comments.

Shiny Video Review: Nikon's S52 and S52c digital cameras
Early April saw the launch of these two cameras from Nikon, which are almost exactly the same as each other – except for a small bulge added to the side of the S52c, which gives it Wi-Fi capabilities.
You can upload to Flickr, or to Nikon’s very own social-networking/photo-sharing site, PictureTown. I’m hoping it’s just like Funky Town, only with less Lipps Inc. Pick…
Shiny Video Review: Nikon P80 digital camera

Wanting a slim compact camera? Nikon's S52 and S52c should do the trick
In addition to the P80 I just mentioned, Nikon has also designed the S52 and S52c compact cameras.
Shown above, the S52 will be available in plum black or silver, and features a 9.0-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom with a NIKKOR lens, and extremely high ISO of 3,200. Yes, I said 3,200. With its contoured body and periscoped lens, it’s very pocket-friendly yet still manages a 3″ LCD screen….
